Allah chose Mary
Maryam,
the daughter of Imran,
to be the person to carry
this great prophet of Allah, this great word
of Allah
whom the soul blown by Allah into the
Virgin Mary in a way that she found
herself
expecting a miracle child without the involvement of
any male. So the Islamic version, which we
believe is the true, the accurate, the unchanged
version, is that
Joseph was not actually the husband or married
to Mariam, may peace be upon her. She
was a virgin.
And when she found herself expecting and when
the angel came to her to tell her
that you're expecting a child,
you're expecting a miracle child, a prophet of
Allah. She immediately questioned, how is this possible?
And she was told it's by the instruction
of Allah. And Allah will help.
Allah will help. Allah will guide. Allah will
give. Allah will clear your name and Allah
has made him a prophet and Allah has
made him one of the highest prophets. If
I were to ask you who are the
highest prophets, would you know their names? There
are 5.
5 of them. Muhammad salallahu alayhi wasalam, Ibrahim
alayhi salam,
Musa alaihi wasallam. So Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam.
Abraham, may peace be upon him. Moses, may
peace be upon him. Jesus, may peace be
upon him. And Noah, may peace be upon
him. These are the 5 highest ranking prophets
of Allah. Allah mentions them in the Quran
in more than one place. Let me read
one of the verses.
What a beautiful verse. Surah Al Ahzaab. Allah
Almighty
mentions all those 5 in one verse. And
Allah calls them
They were the highest ranking of the prophet
of the prophets of Allah.
They went through lives that Allah has mentioned
most of in the Quran. The Quran is
filled with stories of the prophets. The prophet
mentioned the most in the Quran is
is
Musa alayhi salam. Moses, may peace be upon
him, well done. And then Allah makes mention
of other prophets, Ibrahim alayhi salam. Jesus, may
peace be upon him. There is an entire
surah or chapter in the Quran named after
Mary Maryam,
may peace be upon her, the mother of
Jesus, may peace be upon him. And Allah
mentions this whole story of how he was
born and how
everything happened and what he said when he
was born. What happened when people accused Mary
of doing something illegitimate or immoral.
And Allah cleared her by making the child
speak in the cradle. That's one of the
miracles of Jesus. And he has had thousands
of major miracles in his life.
We'll mention some of them. But one of
them was,
and this one is not mentioned in the
old testament or the Christian version of it.
We believe that he spoke from the cradle.
He spoke from the cradle,
clarifying who he was. When people accused his
mother,
They looked at Mary and they said, you
know what? You've come with something immoral,
something sinful. Your father was a good man.
Your mother was a good woman. They were
not immoral, immodest. They were chaste. SubhanAllah. Clean,
pure, not like this. All she did by
the instruction of Allah.
Allah told her, you just point towards the
child. Little baby in the cradle, newly born.
What's going to happen?
Allah says, you don't worry. Just point at
the child.
They said,
They said, how do you expect us to
speak to someone who is in a cradle?
A little baby in a cradle, you want
him to talk?
And he opened his mouth and he says,
Words that he said are mentioned in the
Quran in Surat Maryam. Allah says, He says,
I am the servant of Allah, a slave
of Allah.
Allah has made me a prophet and given
me a book.
Subhanallah.
Speaking about what is just going to happen.
And Allah has made me blessed wherever I
am.
And Allah has granted purity, chastity to my
mother.
